Re: [doc] Stuck Throttle....

["Claire Usher" <claire_usher71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of our "Courtesy Corsa's" at work has got one of those
'easytronic' autoboxes (a 5 speed one allegedly).  It's a bloody
annoying thing to drive as it doesnt change gear like you'd expect an
auto to, but lurches between gearchanges.  I've also driven Clio's and
Punto's with similar gearboxes and they all drive the same.  They are
such a pants idea!! The one saving grace is that when driving "Lurch"
(as me and the driver's have nicknamed it), rather then leaving it in
auto, I tend to knock it over into the sequential mode and change gear
when I want to, not when the car wants to by pushing the gear lever
back and forth accordingly - it still lurches, just not as much :o)

Poxy car, you end up needing a neck brace after a ride in that thing!

Haha, rant over :o)

Auto's in general tho arnt *that bad* IMO :o)  I must admit, having
the opportunity of specifying an automatic company car came in very
handy when I needed to get around before and after operations on my
left knee.
